HD 2900XT PCMARK05 scores very low....?

[dj_ski69]

Hey guys,
Got my 2900XT the other day and have been beating my head off the wall trying to figure out why all the Vidoe tests in PCM05 are benching so low...
Please take a look at the comparison between my X1950XTX and my 2900XT at the following link. http://service.futuremark.com/compare?pcm05=844655

The Physics and 3D, Graphics Memory - 64 Lines, and Transparent Windows
(Windows/s) numbers are very low compared to the 1950xtx....

All my 3dMark Scores are on par with what everyone else is getting...
3DM06 (http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=2091718)
05 (http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=3097491)
03 (http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=5384091)

I am using the new Cat 7.5's posted today.....

Does anyone else have this problem?
Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening?

Thanks for your help....!!!:)

Set your 2D Clocks to match the 3D Clocks ;)

[cadaveca]

lol. if ya want...I jsut ran the test, without any overclcoking besides cpu as noted and using CCC max speeds for each set of runs.

[ChaosMinionX]

I am having the same problem...looks as though scores are alot better with these cards in vista.
